We kept in line with all of our Christmas traditions and went to Grandma Ree's house (Kevin's Grandma) on Christmas Eve! Here's Kevin's cousin Dustin with his fiance Ashley holding Kayla's baby Chandler!
Here's part of the crowd celebrating!
Some of Grandma Ree's great-grands!
Some more of the big crowd!
All the food with Uncle Tiny, Great Grandma Ree and Aunt Poochie!
Cade opens his piano from Great Grandma Ree!
Carson opens his, too!
You cannot tell how excited he is about it here, b/c he really loves this keyboard!
Then my crazy husband called Austin, Ian and Chase over to open a box full of balled up papers and throw around the room - as if there wasn't enough going on - these boys loved it!
Our boys even got into it a little bit!
Chase makes a big throw as one is going right by his head, too!
Eli was so content to keep playing right in the middle of the floor!
And my boys made a spot to get down and play their new pianos among everyone's feet!
Here's some more of the crowd!
Playing with toys!
Oops - socks came off!
Someone said: "Let's try to get all the great-grands by the Christmas tree for a picture, so Carson, Austin and Ian went over close!
Then Kellan, Eli and Cade joined them!
But the others (14 total great-grandchildren, I think) didn't come and only Carson was really ready of these 6, so no great-grands picture!
Our family took advantage of passing the camera to Uncle Ricky for this group photo!

Aunt Poochie loves to tickle the twins!
At this point, the boys each had a cup of nilla wafers after going back and forth to the table to snatch more (I think Aunt Wanda filled the cups for them)! Uncle Tiny is pretending to be a musician! He eventually had to cut that thing in half so the boys could both copy him!
When we got home we prepared a bowl of goodies for Santa! Cade wanted to show it off!
Then Carson wanted to show it off for the camera!
Well, here it is ready for Santa on Christmas Eve! We had to add chocolate powder, because Santa must like chocolate milk!
